[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 922579, member: 61747"] Yuck for sure. It is OK, he thought he was helping and I didn't tell him what I was doing. I have some 1x fired Hornady brass from the new barrel that I will sort out and use for the next test. My hope is that my issue was with mixed brass and the chamber will handle more powder for a similar charge weight and get the increased speed and accuracy I expected. If this holds true I can fire a similar charge weight and get about 100 fps faster velocity via the barrel length. I have another 26" 204 varmint contour barrel I want to put on my original 204 with the 22". If all works out like I hope I will sell the new set up, rebarrel the old, and have gained the experience of building a savage. [/QUOTE]
